How do I install my Brother machine using Windows
Update drivers in Windows 7?

Description of Solution 200000027791

During
the initial installation of Windows 7, not all available printer drivers are
listed. Clicking the Windows Update button will cause the operating system to
query Microsoft's servers and download the remaining available drivers. See
below to learn how to update the printer list using Windows Update.

Note: For USB and Parallel users, connect the interface cable to
the Brother device while your PC is connected to the internet and the operating
system will automatically download and install the drivers for your device.

Open the Printers
folder. Click START -> Devices and Printers

Click ADD A
PRINTER

When the ADD
PRINTER WIZARD appears, click on Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth
printer

Select your
Brother printer from the list and click NEXT

When the Install
Printer Driver screen appears, click Windows Update. This will take a
few minutes to contact the Microsoft server and download the additional
drivers.

Once the drivers
list has been updated, please select your Brother printer from the list and
click NEXT.

Follow the
remaining prompts to complete the installation.

Click NEXT to
accept the default name of the printer.

You will be asked
if you want to print a test page and set the printer as the default printer.
Select YES or NO. Click FINISH.

If you don't have internet connection at home and have a laptop
with Wi-Fi capability, you can visit a free Wi-Fi hotspot and perform the
Windows 7 update and download the driver.
